RECEIPT OF BALLOT TITLE NOTICE

Notice is hereby given that a ballot title referring a measure to the voters of the City of king city has been filed with the City Recorder | City Election Official on August 21st, 2019 for inclusion in the November 5, 2019, General Election. 

The Ballot Title to appear on the ballot shall read as follows:

CAPTION: King City Police and Public Safety Local Option Levy

Question: Shall King City fund Police Services; levy 63 cents per $1,000 assessed value for 5 years beginning 2020-2021?

This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than three percent.

Summary: In 2014 King City voters passed a five-year police and public services levy.  That levy is set to expire in June of 2020.  If passed this measure will levy 63 cents per $1,000 of assessed value to fund police and public safety services for five years beginning in July of 2020.

Passing this levy will allow the King City Police Department to:

Maintain police services at their current level, increase supervision, retain experienced officers, provide officer training, and continue participation in the Washington County-wide PPDS Records System. This cost would be approximately $7.88 per month or $94.50 a year on a home assessed at $150,000.

It is estimated that the proposed rate would raise:

$347,684 in 2020-21, $360,404 in 2021-22, in $373,573 in 2022-23, $386,399 in 2023-24, and $397,991 in 2024-25.

 

Any voter may file a petition for review of the ballot title in the Washington County Circuit Court no later than August 30, 2019.
